Flexibility in the social structure of male chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes schweinfurthii) in the Budongo Forest, Uganda

This study shows that male chimpanzees in a large community use semi-stable subgrouping, adding flexibility to their social organization beyond typical fission-fusion dynamics.

Evaluating the efficacy of a consumer-centric method for ecological sampling: Using bonobo (Pan paniscus) feeding patterns as an instrument for tropical forest characterization

This paper evaluates a consumer-centric method for ecological sampling using bonobo feeding patterns to characterize tropical forest resources, finding it comparable to traditional methods after sufficient observation.

Non-genetic maternal effects shape individual differences in cortisol phenotypes in wild chimpanzees

The paper examines maternal effects on cortisol phenotypes in wild chimpanzees, finding maternal influence explains 10% of variation, while genetic factors are not distinguishable from zero.

Accuracy and Precision of Social Relationship Indices

This study evaluates the accuracy and precision of three social relationship indices using simulations, finding they depend on sample size and constituting interaction types.

Behavioural diversity of bonobo prey preference as a potential cultural trait

The paper investigates prey preference variation among bonobo groups, finding group-specific hunting preferences not explained by environmental factors, suggesting cultural transmission of hunting techniques.

Long-term repeatability in social behaviours suggests stable social phenotypes in wild chimpanzees

This study shows that social behaviors in wild chimpanzees remain stable over 20 years, suggesting long-term social phenotypes are consistent despite environmental and demographic changes.
